RIM Tablet To Be Launched Next Week

BlackBerry maker RIM, seeing its market share dwindle due to an influx of Androd smartphones, is set to take on a new direction according to the Wall Street Journal.

At a developer's conference in San Francisco next week, RIM is going to launch a seven-inch touchscreen with built-in camera being nicknamed "BlackPad" for obvious reasons.

The BlackPad along with the Samsung Galaxy Tab has been named among other contenders to take on the Applie iPad.
